Mavis Dukes – Wild Iris Bloom

Twelve-year-old Iris can’t believe that she’s been left with Mrs. Fuller, the world’s nerdiest baby-sitter, while her parents are in Paris! In order to save her sanity, she visits the mall with her best friend’s family–for some entertainment Iris-style.

The answer is more than Iris could have ever imagined…
